Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 1

Chapter 1: Waking Up On The Plane

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Su Jin had always been an opinionated girl. Her father watched as her plane slowly took off beyond the railing, rubbing the tears off his eyes. He never expected his beloved daughter to just leave on a whim like that. Now no one knew when they would next meet.

Behind him, Lin Xiuyuan was leaning on the car, having just completed a round of Honor of Kings. He rolled his eyes and said, “Seriously, Uncle, Sis Su Jin is only going overseas on a business trip. It’s not like she’s moving away for good. She’ll be back next month, jeez.”

Su Jin’s father, Su Xiangzhe, sighed again. “Yes, it’s just a business trip, so why do I feel so uneasy?” Su Xiangzhe did not know if he was worrying too much or if there was something else at play here. All he knew was that he had not been able to rest easy for a second since his daughter said she was going abroad for a trip. That was why he insisted on sending her off today.

As he watched the plane disappear into the distance, though, that ominous feeling he had came back with a vengeance.

“Do you want to stay and watch a little longer? I don’t mind playing one more round,” Lin Xiuyuan said carefully.

“No, no, that’s enough. You only came with me so you could skive off on studying, didn’t you? Little brat.” Su Xiangzhe turned his annoyance into laughter. This nephew of his was great; his only flaw was how much he hated studying.

Lin Xiuyuan had insisted on seeing his cousin off today when he heard that Su Jin was going abroad, saying that it was out of familial devotion, but the truth was he just wanted an excuse to get away from his textbooks. _{fгeewebnovёl.com}

Whatever, senior year was tough on high schoolers these days. Su Xiangzhe sighed and tossed his phone at Lin Xiuyuan. “You can play on the way back, but you’d better get back to studying once we’re home.”

“Yes, sir.” Lin Xiuyuan happily caught the phone and gave his uncle a military salute, promptly diving into the passenger seat and back into the world of his game.

Su Xiangzhe laughed. The discomfort in his chest after sending his daughter away finally lessened slightly.

He had rarely received any salutes like that since he retired from the military. A glance at his watch told him that they would probably be back home right in time for dinner. They were gathering at his in-laws’ place for dinner again that night, and Su Xiangzhe immediately began looking forward to his father-in-law’s cooking. Feeling considerably more cheerful, he drove back home.

On the plane, Su Jin’s eyes abruptly flew open. Her forehead was covered in sweat, and she looked around only to see that she was sitting in a plane as though nothing had happened. The middle-aged man next to her was flipping through the travel magazine provided by the crew.

Su Jin then looked down at her arms. There were no needle marks there, and her fingers were slender and soft. They looked nothing like the hands of someone who had lived in a zombie apocalypse for two years.

She should be on the way to G Province for a business trip right now. Her company had sent her to an exhibition at G Province, where she was supposed to serve as an interpreter at the same time. There was no helping it, since she was the only employee in the company who scored Band 8 in her foreign language classes. Although Su Jin preferred to stay at home, she knew she had a responsibility to the company, so she agreed.

Was that all a dream then? Had she dreamed that up after falling asleep on the plane?

Su Jin was confused. If it was a dream, it was way too vivid!

She had a window seat, so she looked at the blue sky outside her window. If it was a dream, what was this damn feeling of relief? She felt as though she had just climbed out of hell.

In her dreams, she had died. Her husband Lu Hao’s insane worshipper had kidnapped her and experimented on her, turning her into a zombie.

After she died, was that woman still leading Lu Hao by the nose? She had no idea.

Once she got off the plane, she was determined to tell Lu Hao about her dream and make him pay her a huge sum in apology. It was his fault for having such a rabid fan in her dream.

Then again, she remembered how they had just gotten married, yet she had left for a month-long business trip before they could even go on their honeymoon. When she thought about it that way, she realized that she was not exactly a model wife either.

When Lu Hao heard that she was leaving for such a long time, he nearly fell into a depressive slump. If it were not for his terrible sense of directions and the fact that something came up with his team, he would definitely have seen her off with his father-in-law.

Su Jin closed her eyes and continued to rest, but then she heard a beep on the plane intercom. The air stewardess’ gentle voice informed everyone that the plane was experiencing some bad weather and there would be a little turbulence, so everyone should just put on their seatbelts and not panic.

The middle-aged man reading the magazine next to Su Jin took off his seatbelt, intending to use the washroom. Su Jin wanted to tell him that he would only be able to use the washroom later, but before she could say anything, the plane suddenly shook violently. The middle-aged man lost his balance and fell toward Su Jin.
